This data collection constitutes a portion of the
historical data collected by the project "Early Indicators of Later
Work Levels, Disease, and Death." With the goal of constructing
datasets suitable for longitudinal analyses of factors affecting the
aging process, the project is collecting military, medical, and
socioeconomical data on a sample of white males mustered into the
Union Army during the Civil War. The project seeks to examine the
influence of environmental and host factors prior to recruitment on
the health performance and survival of recruits during military
service, to identify and show relationships between socioeconomic and
biomedical conditions (including nutritional status) of veterans at
early ages and mortality rates from diseases at middle and late ages,
and to study the effects of health and pensions on labor force
participation rates of veterans at ages 65 and over. This installment
of the collection, Version M-5, supersedes any previous version of
these data. Collected in this version are data from military service,
pension, and medical records of veterans who were originally mustered
into the Union Army in California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West
Virginia, and Wisconsin regiments. Also included are data from a
20-company pilot sample and information on recruits whose pension
records were stored at the Veterans Administration (VA) Archives in
Washington, DC, but had not been collected previously. Data include
date and place of birth, place of residence, marital status, number of
children, occupation, wealth and income, muster place and date, length
of service, battles fought, medical experiences (e.g., illness,
wounds, and hospital stays), health status, pension information, and
date, place, and cause of death. Additional variables provide the
place and date of birth of the recruits' wives, children, and
parents. The data are organized into three sections according to state
of enlistment. Section 1 (Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4) contains data from New
England, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, New Jersey, Indiana,
Wisconsin, California, New Mexico, and the 20-company pilot
sample. Section 2 (Parts 5, 6, 7, and 8) contains data from New York,
Michigan, Washington, DC, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and West
Virginia, along with pensions data from the VA Archives. Section 3
(Parts 9, 10, 11, and 12) contains data from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Illinois. The variables in Part 13, Linkage Data, indicate which major
document sources were located for each recruit. Also, provided is
information regarding death dates (Part 14) for individuals whose
death records came from the pension payout cards. Approximate date of
death was determined by examining the last record of payment to the
pensioner.

1860-1940 (ICPSR 2877), in that the data contain standard codes for
medical variables and that 5,346 new observations have been added from
Ohio veterans. This collection studies the health conditions and
disabilities of Union Army veterans, identifying relationships between
biomedical and socioeconomic conditions. Also examined is the impact
of age at onset of disabilities, comorbidities, and rates of
deterioration on waiting time to death. These data also look at the
connection between the burden of diseases and the cause of death among
Union Army veterans compared to that of persons dying toward the end
of the twentieth century. The investigators seek to determine how the
age-specific curve of chronic disease burdens after age 50 has changed
over time.

This study investigated the socioeconomic composition of
the 1841-1847 British House of Commons and the political behavior of
the men who sat in it. For each member of parliament, data were
collected on personal background, constituency, political career,
social position, and professional and business interests. The
information on political behavior includes party affiliation, roll
call responses in 186 individual parliamentary votes (called
"divisions"), and the parliament members' ranking on 24 cumulative

The China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset - Liaoning (CMGPD-LN) is drawn from the population registers compiled by the Imperial Household Agency (neiwufu) in Shengjing, currently the northeast Chinese province of Liaoning, between 1749 and 1909. It provides 1.5 million triennial observations of more than 260,000 residents from 698 communities. The population mainly consists of immigrants from North China who settled in rural Liaoning during the early eighteenth century, and their descendants. The data provide socioeconomic, demographic, and other characteristics for individuals, households, and communities, and record demographic outcomes such as marriage, fertility, and mortality. The data also record specific disabilities for a subset of adult males. Additionally, the collection includes monthly and annual grain price data, custom records for the city of Yingkou, as well as information regarding natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and earthquakes. This dataset is unique among publicly available population databases because of its time span, volume, detail, and completeness of recording, and because it provides longitudinal data not just on individuals, but on their households, descent groups, and communities.

The China Multi-Generational Panel Dataset - Shuangcheng (CMGPD-SC) provides longitudinal individual, household, and community information on the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of a resettled population living in Shuangcheng, a county in present-day Heilongjiang Province of Northeastern China, for the period from 1866 to 1913. The dataset includes some 1.3 million annual observations of over 100,000 unique individuals descended from families who were relocated to Shuangcheng in the early 19th century. These families were divided into 3 categories based on their place of origin: metropolitan bannermen, rural bannermen, and floating bannermen. The CMGPD-SC, like its Liaoning counterpart, the CMGPD-LN (ICPSR 27063), is a valuable data source for studying longitudinal as well as multi-generational social and demographic processes. The population categories had salient differences in social origins and land entitlements, and landholding data are available at a number of time periods, thus the CMGPD-SC is especially suitable to the study of stratification processes.

This study records discontinuous, concerted, contentious
forms of collective action occurring in the London region from 1758 to
1820 and in Britain as a whole from 1828 to 1834. These contentious
gatherings are defined as occasions on which at least ten or more
persons assembled in a publicly-accessible place and either by word or
deed made claims that would, if realized, affect the interests of some
person or group outside their own number. In the world of eighteenth
and nineteenth century Britain such gatherings would include almost
every event that an observer or historian would label disturbance,
disorder, riot, or protest in addition to the numerous meetings,
rallies, marches, processions, celebrations, and other sanctioned
assemblies during which people made claims. One of the aims of the
principal investigators was to study the structure of debate and
political action among citizens in a major Western state during a
period of transition to the more formal methods of modern popular
collective action such as voting, petitioning, and participation in
special-interest associations.

These data were gathered in order to determine the cost of
living as well as the cost of production in selected industries in the
United States and several Western European countries. The study is
comprised of nine industries (cotton and woolen textiles, glass, pig
iron, bar iron, steel, bituminous coal, coke, and iron ore) and
contains family-level information on the household composition, income
and expenditures of workers in these industries. Additional topics
covered include sources of income, ages and sex of children, detailed
occupation of the household head, detailed expenditures for food as
well as nonfood items, and characteristics of the family's dwelling
units.

Prepared by ICPSR under a project to automate major
portions of the Statistique Generale de la France, this is a
collection of demographic, social, education, economic, population,
and vital statistics data for France, 1833-1925. This conversion
project is a continuation of one conducted in 1972, for which a
similar data collection was created, SOCIAL, DEMOGRAPHIC, AND
EDUCATIONAL DATA FOR FRANCE, 1801-1897 (ICPSR 0048). The project to
collect and prepare these data was sponsored by two French and two
American groups: ICPSR and the Center for Western European Studies at
the University of Michigan, and the Fourth and Sixth Sections of the
Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes and Conseil National de la Recherches
Scientifique in France. Both collections include data recorded at the
departement, arrondissement, chef-lieu, and ville level. In this
collection, materials from the vital statistics series were prepared
for selected years rather than for each year in the period from
1900-1925. The years that were chosen clustered around the
quinquennial censuses and also included (because of the violent
demographic dislocations produced by World War I) each year in the
1914-1919 period. In addition, some vital statistics for the
nineteenth century (1836-1850, 1880, and 1892) obtained from fugitive
published volumes that could not be located during the course of the
1972 project were prepared. The 136 datasets in this collection
contain: (1) French population, economic, and social data obtained
from the quenquennial censuses of 1901, 1906, 1911, and 1921, that
detail the composition of the population by categories of age, sex,
nativity, marital status, religion, place of residence, and
occupation, (2) industrial census data for the years 1861-1896, (3)
data on primary education in France for 1833, 1901, and 1906, as well
as data on secondary and higher education in France for the years
1836-1850, 1880, and 1892, and (4) data from a separate series of
annual vital statistics (Mouvement de la Population) that cover the
years 1836-1850, 1892, and 1900-1925, citing births, deaths, and
marriages in the nation.

The purpose of this data collection was to provide data on
the height of slaves and indentured servants in the colonial and
antebellum periods of United States history. Data were taken from
newspaper advertisements describing the runaways. Variables include
the state in which the advertisement was published, the year of the
advertisement, the first and last names of the runaway slave or
indentured servant, and his or her race, sex, age, height, place of
birth, legal status (whether he or she was a convict or in jail at
time of advertisement), profession, and knowledge of the English
language.

This study contains data on the diffusion of innovative
legislation and public programs among the 48 continental states of the
United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. Information is
provided for the year in which each state initiated each of 85
innovative programs and for the date when the state became a
territory. Variables provide information on the programs enacted and
on the innovative score, which was calculated for each state on each
issue. Based on the number of years that elapsed between the first and
the last legislative enactment of a program, each state received a
score corresponding to the percentage of time that elapsed between the
first adoption of the program and the state's own acceptance of the
program.

This detailed study of 578 disturbances in France in
the period 1830-1860 and 1930-1960 provides information on the
geographic, economic, political, demographic, and historical
background for each of the communes involved in the disturbances.
Data for the formations, a collective of forces comprising of
at least 50 persons in each collective, provide information on
their social, economic, and political background, population
characteristics, type of formation, age-sex distribution of the
formations, and the political party affiliation of its members.
The antecedent history of the disturbances is also given,
including public memory of previous conflicts, forms of and
responses to violence, interactions with other formations,
character and clarity of objectives, and extent of territory
controlled. Data on the organization of each formation is
provided for the leadership, coordination, segmentation,
stratification, and differentiation of the formation, as well
as the extent of participation in man-days, and the numbers of
participants in the disturbances arrested, killed, or wounded.
Information is also provided on the outcome of the disturbance
and changes resulting from participation in the disturbances.
Additional variables provide detailed descriptions of the
magnitude, duration, objectives, and immediate consequences of
the disturbances. Variables also describe the newspaper, archival,
and secondary sources used in the coding of the data collection.

The data in this series of studies were assembled by an
interdisciplinary research team led by Myron Gutmann of the University
of Michigan between 1995 and 2004, as part of a research project
funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
(Grant Number R01 HD33445 to the University of Michigan). The goal of
the project was to amass information about approximately 500 counties
in 12 states of the Great Plains of the United States, and then to
analyze those data in order to understand the relationships between
population and environment that existed between the years of about
1870 and 2000. The data distributed here are all data about
counties. They fall into four broad categories: about the counties,
about agriculture, about demographic and social conditions, and about
the environment. The information about counties (name, area,
identification code, and whether the project classified the county as
part of the Great Plains in a given year) is embedded in each of the
other data files, so that there will be three series of data
(agriculture, demographic and social conditions, and environment),
containing individual data files for each year for which data are
available. The United States Census of Agriculture has been conducted
since 1850 on a regular schedule that was decennial until 1920, and
more frequently thereafter (every five years from 1925 to 1950, then
in 1954, 1959, 1964, 1978, and every five years since 1982). The
agricultural data included in this collection consist of a single data
file for each agricultural census year between 1870 and 1997 that
includes selected material compiled as part of the United States
Agricultural Census. The county-level agricultural data produced by
the United States government as part of the census constitute a
consistent series of measures of changing agriculture and land use.

Specifically, this study contains environmental data and is meant to aid the modeling of the biogeochemical effects of cropping in the Great Plains region. These data were generated by the Daycent ecosystem model, which has been used extensively to simulate soil biogeochemical dynamics from agricultural systems throughout the United States. Variables include information on above-ground production, soil and system carbon, evaporation and transpiration data, soil temperature, nitrogen mineralization, and fluxes of various chemical compounds.

The social and demographic data included in this
collection consist of a single data file for each decennial year
between 1870 and 2000, covering 10 of the 12 Great Plains states.
Information on a variety of social and demographic topics was gathered
to historically characterize populations living in counties within the
United States Great Plains, in terms of: (1) urban, rural, and total
population, (2) vital statistics, (3) net migration, (4) age and sex,
(5) nativity and ancestry, (6) education and literacy, (7) religion,
(8) industry, and (9) housing and other characteristics. These data
include selected material compiled as part of the United States
population census. The United States Census of Population and Housing
has been conducted since 1790 on a regular schedule that is
decennial. The county-level social and demographic data produced by
the United States government as a result constitute a consistent
series of measures capturing changes in the United States population's
size, composition, and other characteristics. A subset of the
variables available from the short and long-form survey questionnaires
of the United States Census of Population and Housing (as compiled for
counties) were extracted from previously existing digital files.
Besides the decennial census of the population, county-level data were
drawn from an assortment of existing digital files as well as sources
that were manually digitized. Other data include compilations of
county-level information gathered from various federal agencies and
private organizations as well as the agriculture and economic
censuses. Supplementing these compilations are manually digitized
consumer market data, religious data, and vital statistics, including
information about births, deaths, marriage, and divorce.

Homicides in New York City, 1797-1999 [And Various Historical Comparison Sites]

There has been little research on United States homicide
rates from a long-term perspective, primarily because there has been
no consistent data series on a particular place preceding the Uniform
Crime Reports (UCR), which began its first full year in 1931. To fill
this research gap, this project created a data series on homicides per
capita for New York City that spans two centuries. The goal was to
create a site-specific, individual-based data series that could be
used to examine major social shifts related to homicide, such as mass
immigration, urban growth, war, demographic changes, and changes in
laws. Data were also gathered on various other sites, particularly in
England, to allow for comparisons on important issues, such as the
post-World War II wave of violence. The basic approach to the data
collection was to obtain the best possible estimate of annual counts
and the most complete information on individual homicides. The annual
count data (Parts 1 and 3) were derived from multiple sources,
including the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports
and Supplementary Homicide Reports, as well as other official counts
from the New York City Police Department and the City Inspector in the
early 19th century. The data include a combined count of murder and
manslaughter because charge bargaining often blurs this legal
distinction. The individual-level data (Part 2) were drawn from
coroners' indictments held by the New York City Municipal Archives,
and from daily newspapers. Duplication was avoided by keeping a record
for each victim. The estimation technique known as "capture-recapture"
was used to estimate homicides not listed in either source. Part 1
variables include counts of New York City homicides, arrests, and
convictions, as well as the homicide rate, race or ethnicity and
gender of victims, type of weapon used, and source of data. Part 2
includes the date of the murder, the age, sex, and race of the
offender and victim, and whether the case led to an arrest, trial,
conviction, execution, or pardon. Part 3 contains annual homicide
counts and rates for various comparison sites including Liverpool,
London, Kent, Canada, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San
Francisco.

This dataset contains data about case records created
between 1859-1959 in the Massachusetts Superior Court (and its
predecessors) for two Massachusetts counties. Part 1 contains data for
1,952 criminal cases with 52 descriptive variables, including: type of
crime, year crime was committed, pleas, sentences, appeals, size of
file, and demographic characteristics of victim and defendant (e.g.,
gender, status, residence, and occupation). Eighteen variables
describe and rate each case's historical interest. Part 2 contains
data on 1,968 civil (law, equity, and divorce) cases, with 82
descriptive variables, such as: relationship between parties, type of
complaint, relief sought, disposition, relief granted, number of
claims, damages awarded, size of file, and demographic characteristics
of plaintiff and defendant (e.g., gender, status, residence, and
occupation). Ten variables describe and rate each case's historical
interest. In both data files, criteria for historical interest coding
include: (1) inherent interest, such as offenses that are not routine
(e.g., white-collar crimes, sexual crimes, and serious felonies),
parties who are inherently interesting (e.g., famous persons,
institutional defendants, and law enforcement personnel), and legal
proceedings that are inherently interesting (e.g., alleged violations
of prosecutorial or judicial discretion), (2) contexts that are
inherently interesting, and (3) extraordinary documentation, such as
those that shed light on the legal system (e.g., pardons or letters
from citizens' committees), shed light on social history (e.g., the
testimony of a woman who moved to the city and inadvertently ended up
in a brothel), provide legal/procedural information (e.g., the details
of search or a technical challenge to an indictment), and describe public
or political history (e.g., milk inspection or zoning laws).

This study recorded information on deaths that occurred in
1850 in seven states of the southern United States: Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The
data were obtained from the manuscript mortality schedules of the 1850
United States Census. Variables identify the state and county in which
each death occurred, and provide information on the age, sex, race,
legal status (free or slave), place of birth, and occupation of the
deceased. The month and cause of death as well as the number of days
of illness before death are also documented.

This collection presents information from the census of
manufacturing in states and the District of Columbia. It was
constructed from the STATE SAMPLES FROM THE CENSUS OF MANUFACTURING:
1850, 1860, AND 1870 (ICPSR 4071). The data were originally collected
to paint a quantitative picture of industrialization in the United
States without the need to weight the results. The data describe states
and counties in terms of amount of capital invested and numbers of male,
female, and child workers employed. Additional information includes
daily wages for men, women, and children, annual wage bill, number of
waterwheels and steam engines, and horsepower by water or steam.

This study includes data collected to investigate the
dynamics of conflict and warfare and the role played by national
growth and expansion in these processes. Annual aggregate data were
compiled for the period 1870-1914 on Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Russia, and Austria-Hungary in eight categories: national size,
colonial size, economic and productivity profile, commercial activity,
government budget, alliances, violence, and conflicts of
interest. Data in the first six categories were gathered from
yearbooks and other historical sources. One of the alliance measures,
adversary relationship, is a dummy variable indicating if a state was
aligned or not. Variables in the last two categories are derived by
subjective scaling procedures. The data are structured around
individual years as units of analysis.

This study includes data on slave sales that occurred on the New Orleans slave market between 1804-1862. For each sale, information was recorded on the date of the sale, the number of slaves on the invoice, the geographical origin of the buyer and seller, the sale price, and characteristics of the slaves sold (age, sex, family relationship, and occupation). The information presented for each transaction was obtained from the notarized bills of sale in the New Orleans Notarial Archival Office. These bills often contained information on several persons who were sold in a group or as a "lot." Whenever feasible, sale and personal characteristics of individuals appearing in such groups were entered on separate records. This was usually done when separate sale prices were recorded for each member of the group. When separate prices were not recorded for children sold in a group, information describing those children was attached to the record of a principal slave with whom they were associated on the original bill of sale.

This data collection describes the social conditions of the
older population of the United States in the late nineteenth century.
Variables include personal characteristics such as age, sex, marital
status, race, birthplace, number of children, and occupation of sampled
older persons. Detailed information, extracted from the 1880 United
States Census manuscript census schedules, is provided on household
composition and family structure. In addition, occupational and ethnic
characteristics of family heads appearing on the same sampled census
page as the older person (on census pages grouped by street location)
are reported. The data collection consists of three independent
samples: (1) a national sample, (2) a Southern urban sample, and (3) a
Southern Black sample. Older Blacks are over-represented in the
Southern urban and Southern Black samples in order to focus on their
family experiences in the urban and rural South.

Initially taken in 1838 to demonstrate the stability and significance of
the African American community and to forestall the abrogation of African American voting rights, the Quaker and Abolitionist census of African Americans was continued in 1847 and 1856 and present an invaluable view of the mid-nineteenth century African American population of Philadelphia. Although these censuses list only household heads, providing aggregate information for other household members, and exclude the substantial number of African Americans living in white households, they provide data not found in the federal population schedules. When combined with the information on African Americans taken from the four federal censuses, they offer researchers a richly detailed view of Philadelphia's African American community spanning some forty years.
The three censuses are not of equal inclusiveness or quality, however. The 1838 and 1847 enumerations cover only the "old" City of Philadelphia (river-to-river and from Vine to South Streets) and the immediate surrounding districts (Spring Garden, Northern Liberties, Southwark, Moyamensing, Kensington--1838, West Philadelphia--1847); the 1856 survey includes African Americans living throughout the newly enlarged city which, as today, conforms to the boundaries of Philadelphia County. In spite of this deficiency in areal coverage, the earlier censuses are superior historical documents. The 1838 and 1847 censuses contain data on a wide range of social and demographic variables describing the household indicating address, household size, occupation, whether members were born in Pennsylvania, status-at-birth, debts, taxes, number of children attending school, names of beneficial societies and churches (1838), property brought to Philadelphia from other states (1838), sex composition (1847), age structure (1847), literacy (1847), size of rooms and number of people per room (1847), and miscellaneous remarks (1847). While the 1856 census includes the household address and reports literacy, occupation, status-at-birth, and occasional passing remarks about individual households and their occupants, it excludes the other informational categories. Moreover, unlike the other two surveys, it lists the occupations of only higher status African Americans, excluding unskilled and semiskilled designations, and records the status-at-birth of adults only. Indeed, it even fails to provide data permitting the calculation of the size and age and sex structure of households.
Variables for each household head and his household include (differ
slightly by census year): name, sex, status-at-birth, occupation, wages,
real and personal property, literacy, education, religion, membership in
beneficial societies and temperance societies, taxes, rents, dwelling
size, address, slave or free birth.

population, infant deaths per 1,000 live births, the number of
pupils enrolled in elementary and secondary schools, the number
of students enrolled in colleges and universities, the number
of teachers in secondary schools, and the number of civil servants,
doctors, midwives, and hospital beds. Economic variables provide
information on the Gross National Product (GNP), price index,
number of patents issued, energy consumption, maximum income tax
rate, government revenue from income tax, amount of public debt
in millions, total public expenditures on defense, education,
pension, welfare, health, veterans' benefits, and labor, labor
union membership, the number of total work force employed in
agriculture, the amount of agricultural production, the
percentage of working-age population unemployed, the number of
people on welfare, and the number of people receiving public
pensions. Additional variables provide information on the
voting population, the population voting for left-wing
parties, population residing in cities over 20,000 in size,
and population residing in the three largest cities. Three
political indexes, the Cutright Index of Political Development,
the Flanigan-Fogelman Index of Democratization, and an index
indicating the ideology of the regime for each year, are also
provided for the purpose of crossnational comparisons.

The data contained in this study deal with incidents of
political and social violence in the United States from 1819 to 1968.
Three indices of political violence used are the number of violent
events, the number of deaths resulting from the events, and the
number of injuries resulting from the events. Data are provided
on the date of the violent event, nature of the target, number of
attackers, level of violence by individual attacker and by a group
of attackers, respectively, motivation or reason for the attack,
numbers of deaths and injuries to targeted individuals and to
attackers, type of attacker, property damage, and number of pages
in newspaper issue devoted to the event. The data were originally
collected in connection with the National Commission on the Causes
and Prevention of Violence (established in 1968).

This data collection consists of coded descriptions
of the political structures of 144 countries worldwide (428 polities)
in the period 1800-1971. One of four distinct but related datasets
developed by Robert Gurr and his associates at Princeton University
and Northwestern University to test hypotheses about the causes of
conflict within contemporary nations and the correlates of
institutional change, this study probes why some political
institutions perform well and persist in response to challenges and
crises while others change abruptly. Operational conceptualization
of the study is provided with the description of salient
characteristics of political systems in terms of the dimensions
of authority patterns. Included are indicators of dimensions of
authority, such as the openness of recruitment, decision constraints,
participation, directiveness, and complexity, the degree to which
each polity was autocratic, democratic, and anocratic, and the
dichotomous indicator of coherence of a polity as consistently
democratic. Additional data provide information on the circumstances
of the birth and death of a polity, including the character of the
polity and reasons for its termination. Three related studies focus
on civil conflicts in polities: CONFLICT AND SOCIETY (ICPSR 7452),
CIVIL STRIFE EVENTS, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7531), and CIVIL STRIFE CONFLICT
MAGNITUDES, 1955-1970 (ICPSR 7485).

These data were gathered for use in modeling the diffusion
of prohibition in the United States throughout the nineteenth century.
The study contains information on the prohibition status of counties
from 1801 to 1920. For each county in the continental United States,
the prohibition status is recorded annually starting with 1801. For those counties that were established after 1801, the prohibition status is recorded from the date the county was created. State-level prohibition status
is also identified.

This data collection contains information on the
voting patterns of the 556 deputies and alternates of the
Prussian National Assembly of 1848. Variables provide
information on the subject matter of the roll call votes in the
Assembly, such as the establishment of a constitutional committee,
the promulgation of the constitution, the abolition or the
retention of the death penalty with or without provisos, the
appointment by the king of all officers and colonels in the civic
guard, the resignation of reactionary officers, the increase
in taxes on unrefined beet sugar, contractual arrangements, the
law concerning the hunting rights of the nobility, rights of
tenants and landlords, special guarantees to Polish residents,
abolition of the nobility with its titles and designations, and
military aid to Vienna by the Prussian government. Demographic
variables provide information on the National Assembly members,
such as their occupation, membership status in the Assembly,
electoral district, party membership, election date, previous
service, and committee assignments. Also provided are variables
on urban characteristics and religious characteristics of the
deputy's electoral district.

The dataset contains two files of data, one that describes
characteristics of 1,952 religious revivals in New York State and one
that describes characteristics of 431 religious revivals in Ohio, all
conducted between 1825 and 1835. All extant issues of ten Protestant
periodicals that contained data for the 10-year span studied were
examined, and every report of a revival was noted. Variables in both
data files pertain to the state, county, and town where the revival
occurred, the name and sequence number for each source periodical,
the year in which the revival occurred, the number of people
involved, and the type of report. The values for "type of report"
range from simply relating the occurrence of a revival to the number
of people affected and how, such as: number who were anxious, number
hopeful conversions, number on probation, number converted, number
new church members admitted on examination, and number new church
members.

This dataset contains variables describing congressional
service and selected biographical characteristics for each person who
has served in the United States Congress. This release of the data
includes members of the 104th Congress. Approximately 11,455
individuals are represented in this file, each identified by a unique
five-digit identification number. A data record exists for every
Congress in which an individual served, as well as for each chamber in
which a person may have served in a given Congress. To illustrate, a
member of the House of Representatives who is appointed to fill a
vacancy in the Senate during a term of service will have two data
records for that Congress. The congressional service variables include
political party affiliation, district, state and region represented,
and exact and cumulative dates of service in each Congress and each
chamber, as well as total congressional service. The biographical
variables cover state and region of birth, education, military
service, occupation, other political offices held, relatives who also
have held congressional office, reason for leaving each Congress, and
occupation and political offices held subsequent to service in
Congress. Many of these specific variables are summarized in a
collapsed variable.

This study provides social, demographic, and economic data
on the United States population compiled from ICPSR holdings of
county-level census materials and enhanced with information obtained
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the United States
Department of Commerce. County-level socioeconomic indicators were
aggregated and reported for 171 functional urban regions encompassing
the entire contiguous United States. These regions, established in the
early 1960s by BEA, comprise whole counties surrounding a central
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area node that served as a recipient
location of work commuting or a center of newspaper circulation,
wholesale trade, or banking transactions. Total population counts,
proportions of adults, males, African-Americans, and foreign-born,
measures of population change, number of persons per household, and
per capita values of manufactured and farm products are listed for
census years between 1820-1970. For some years, data on per capita
income were obtained from BEA publications. The study also includes
derived measures computed by the principal investigators, such as
logarithmic values of population totals, Z-scores of most of the basic
indicators, and measures of decadal population growth for each region
normalized by the rate of population growth for the nation as a
whole. A description of the methods employed in computing these
variables, as well as a report of the initial analysis using these
data, is found in Sam Bass Warner, Jr. and Sylvia Fleisch, "The Past
of Today's Present: A Social History of America's Metropolises,
1960-1860," JOURNAL OF URBAN HISTORY 3,1 (November 1976), 3-118.

enumeration district), tenure of the farm operator, number of acres
in tillage, meadows, woodland, and other uses, type of crops being
farmed and production figures, and the number of various livestock
(horses, mules, oxen, cows, sheep, and swine). Additionally, data are
presented on the value of the farm, farm implements, livestock, and
farm products, and costs associated with fences, fertilizer, and
wages. Demographic information drawn from the 1880 Census of
Population includes the race, literacy, age, and birthplace of the
farm operator, number of people living in the house, and number of
people working on the farm.

This study contains data on 779 dyadic fatal quarrels
for the period 1809-1949. The study represents one of the earlier
attempts at quantification of historical conflict behavior. A dyadic
deadly quarrel is a situation involving a pair of opponents or
belligerents which causes death to humans. Each quarrel is identified
by its beginning date and magnitude. The magnitude of a quarrel is
measured by the logarithm to the base 10 of the number of deaths. The
range of magnitude of quarrels in this study is from 2.50 to 7.50, the
latter representing the figure for nations involved in World War II.
For each quarrel, the nominal variables include the type of quarrel,
as well as political, cultural, and economic similarities and
dissimilarities between the pair of combatants.

The objective of this data collection was to examine
inequalities of wealth and the geographic distribution of wealthy
individuals in late 18th- and early 19th-century New York and to
investigate wealth in relationship to occupation and location. For
this study, the entire set of tax assessment records and United States
Census records for New York City were computerized and occupational
status was added for all entries. The collection addresses topics
such as social class structure, demographic factors, occupational
status and geographic distribution, property values and geographic
distribution, and the relationship of these factors to the political
system. Units of analysis were individual property owners and renters
for the tax assessment data and heads of households for the census
data. Data collected included the individual's name, address,
occupation, sex, and race, the type, quantity, and value of real and
personal property, and the type and occupancy of the structure at the
address. Occupational data from city directories were used to
supplement the tax and census data.

This data collection was designed to analyze the
relationships among height, morbidity, and mortality among individuals
recruited into the Union Army. Information about each recruit includes
date, place, and term of enlistment, place of birth, military ID
number, random number assigned to each company, occupation before
enlistment, age at enlistment, and height. Population figures for 1850
to 1860 by race, sex, and county of birth also are included by county
and town of both recruit's birth and enlistment places. In addition,
the latitude and longitude of the population centroids of each civil
division were also computed.

This collection includes county-level data from the United States Censuses of Agriculture for the years 1840 to 2010. The files provide data about the number, types, output, and prices of various agricultural products, as well as information on the amount, expenses, sales, values, and production of machinery. Most of the basic crop output data apply to the previous harvest year. Data collected also included the population and value of livestock, the number of animals slaughtered, and the size, type, and value of farms. Part 46 of this collection contains data from 1980 through 2010. Variables in part 46 include information such as the average value of farmland, number and value of buildings per acre, food services, resident population, composition of households, and unemployment rates.

Roll call voting records for both chambers of the United
States Congress through the second session of the 105th Congress are
presented in this data collection. Each data file in the collection
contains information for one chamber of a single Congress. The units of
analysis in each part are the individual members of Congress. Each
record contains a member's voting action on every roll call vote taken
during that Congress, along with variables that identify the member
(e.g., name, party, state, district, uniform ICPSR member number, and
most recent means of attaining office). In addition, the codebook
provides descriptive information for each roll call, including the date
of the vote, outcome in terms of nays and yeas, name of initiator, the
relevant bill or resolution number, and a synopsis of the issue.

This data collection contains general election
returns for the offices of president, governor, and United
States representative in the period 1788-1823. These returns
comprise an extension of the general election collection (see
UNITED STATES HISTORICAL ELECTION RETURNS, 1824-1968--ICPSR 0001)
back to the occurrence of the first elections held under the
United States Constitution. The data are recorded chiefly at the
county level, although town-level returns were collected and
preserved as well for the New England states. This collection of
Early National period election returns is much less complete than
the body of returns available for the years from 1824 to the
present. Fugitive and nonextant sources resulted in the recovery
of only approximately half of the possible returns for elections
in this period. The collection and processing of the pre-1824
election materials was supported by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities to the State Historical Society of
Wisconsin.

This dataset contains several measures of urban
concentration for each of the 1,606 United States counties in
existence in 1850. Included are measures of the white and total
populations in each county, as well as percentages of the white and
total populations that resided in towns of various sizes. Town-level
population counts were collected from Tables I and II of the SEVENTH
CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES, 1850. The principal investigator manually
aggregated individual town counts to various town size measures, and
calculated percentages of county population totals. Variables on total
and white populations of each county were added to this data
collection by ICPSR, from HISTORICAL, DEMOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, AND
SOCIAL DATA: THE UNITED STATES, 1790-1970 (ICPSR 0003).

White Attitudes Toward Black Civil Equality in the Nineteenth Century
[electronic resource] Iowa's Equal Rights Referenda of 1857, 1868, and 1880

The primary objective of this data collection was to
provide a quantitative underpinning for the analysis of Northern
racial attitudes in the United States during the Civil War era. The
data contain the results of the three popular referenda on Black civil
equality held in 1857, 1868, and 1880 in the state of Iowa: the first
just prior to the onset of the Civil War, the second following the
Civil War, and the third coming at the close of the Reconstruction
period. In order to provide a more comprehensive political context for
these well-spaced referenda, the data files contain all relevant
annual elections occurring in Iowa between August 1848 and June 1882,
capturing the period of time beginning with the first elections
involving antislavery candidates through the end of Reconstruction. In
addition, the data contain the results of various other referenda,
including banking and liquor prohibition referenda voted upon during
the time period. Parts 1 and 2 contain county-level data for all 99
Iowa counties. Part 1, County File: Elections and Referenda, contains
the outcomes for the various elections and referenda that were put to
the vote in Iowa during the mid- to late-1800s. Part 2, County File:
Miscellaneous, contains various characteristics describing the voting
Iowan population including religion and occupation data. Parts 3 and 4
contain township-level data. The data contain results from 186 of 292
Iowa townships that had surviving 1857 referenda returns. Of the 186,
127 townships had records for all three of the referenda regarding the
rights of Blacks (1857, 1868, and 1880). As a result, Part 3, Township
File: Referenda, contains the outcomes, by township, for the three
civil rights referenda voted on in the state of Iowa. Part 4, Township
File: Voters, contains hand counted voter birthplace data keyed to
each of the three referenda.
